You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“Um, I'm not even sure where to start. I am above and beyond ecstatic about how smoothly everything went. Every single detail completely taken care of. They are so comforting and understanding to every single person they meet. My dad looked amazing! It was my dad when he looked his best with just a completely peaceful look. It was so comforting for everyone to see him like that and when you left his side there was no question about him really resting in peace. Thank you everyone, we appreciate you more than you know. Sincerely, Clarence Bauer's family”
